Seasonal cottage on the West shore of Cayuga Lake awaiting its new owner to fix her up or reimagine and start fresh with a new build. Currently used as a camp but this is an ideal building lot in an area with many high end homes. Drive to door and only 29 steps to 91 feet of lake front, a permanent dock and boat lift. Nice depth for boating, diving and great fishing too! Flat shelves of rocks on the shore are perfect for easy access for swimming and soaking in the water. Lone Retreat is a well maintained private road. There are some that enjoy their lake houses during the winter and those share in the maintenance. Experience life in the Finger Lakes, recently named the most beautiful place in New York by Travel & Leisure! Wineries, restaurants and parks are all within minutes. 30 minute drive to Cornell & IC. Imagine the possibilities.
